I shoot with a Sigma 18-250 zoom on a Nikon D-90 and have encountered a problem with it. The vast majority of the pictures are soft and appear to be focusing past the point I am aiming at. My other lenses (Nikon and Tamron) do not have this issue, so I don't think it is the camera. Has anyone else encountered focus issues with Sigma lenses?

I second this - Picasa is hard to find pictures in - not enough features to bother with - Fast Stone has very good clone & heal for "That one light pole in the back" also, if you want to mess with layers, try Paint.net (Different from Windows Paint) So easy, even I can use it !

I looked at Fast Stone..What I don't get are all these different components that must be downloaded....image viewer, capture, max view, resizer, all dowwnloaded separately. What's up with that?

I do have Window 7, it's such a nice change from Vista! I use the Photo Gallery, it's really easy. I wanted a bit more creativity, that's all. I had a program that came installed on my machine years ago that not only corrected them, but did things like 'oil paint' and 'sketch' for special effects. Can't remember the name, though. 'Part-timers' kicking in , I'm afraid. :lol:

Thanks. I have looked at paint, and all there is, is pictures. I can't figure it out. I used to use Picasa, but then upgraded it and didn't like it very much. I'll look at Gimp.
The world in general has gone to cartoons to explain everything, I have lots of trouble with that. Words, I like words.

Um, yes.....A program to mess with my pictures once I get them on the computer.
Still figuring this out. This was addressed to 'Shooter'

Can anyone recommend a free, easy to understand photofinishing program that allows for some creativity? It's gotta be really easy to understand. I don't seem to be able to 'sense' what to do with them and have wasted many $$ on programs I can't use because I'm not a huge techie. I know there's a lot of them out there. I have a nice, new computer and want to get it right the first time.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks!
We both have. I shouldn't mislead anyone, I won in a local newspaper contest a few years back, and we have both place 1st in our local Irish Fair photo contest with our pics of Ireland. Neither one of us has entered any big contests. We mostly compete with each other, just to see who can get the better shot.

Been a shutterbug since I can remember. Took OK shots with my old 110 but oh my! When I got a Minolta SLR things really took off. Now I have two nice Sony P&S that take fabulous shots. It's an obsession I share with my hubs, we are frequently in competition with each other :-D .
We'd love DSLR's but they are a bit pricey for our pocketbooks. Would like to start a retirement business on Etsy selling photographs.
